  • oh boy am i lucky today

    I hate jump starting cars with my car, but he is a friend and i had to help so...

    I goto jump start his girlfriends van, for whatever f-up reason they have the a red cable comming off the negative post and a black comming off the positive. Vans are so crowed under the hood, i could not see where the cables went to, and there was no labeling, but i figured red posi, black negi. I hook one up them up, then I goto clamp the other, right before i even get to clamp, starks fly everywhere, Im thinking to myself, WTF! :eek: So i tap it quickly, sparks again, so i do it again sparks again, im puzzled and pist off. My friend then goes, oh sorry, i forgot to tell you the cables were switched up for some reason when we got the car.

    Im like "thanks, i could of blown myself up and maybe destroyed our electical systems you ****!"

      sounds like the previous owner did a little work. if i were the owner i would swap them around (or get new cables). at the very least get some red and black electrical tape and rewrap the first foot or so of the cables. that is going to confuse someone in the future.
